Theophylact of Ohrid, on Acts 8:24
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Acts 8:24 · Douay-Rheims
“Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.”
On this verse:
“Because the words "pray to the Lord for me" Simon said not because he repented and converted, but only for the sake of appearances. For otherwise, where is the weeping? Where is the remorse and confession of sins?”
